Eventually people are going to figure out that cannabis is not only an agricultural crop, but that it also cures what ails you. People are slow so its taking a long time to go mainstream. Something like 65% of people (reproducible in every culture regardless of race, religion, or style of government) do whatever the fuck they are told without question. Those dumbfucks (all of us humans) take a long time to learn. But when people finally realize they can help the retarded neighbor kid feel a whole lot better and not scream and bang his head against the wall by simply dumping a couple seeds in ground next to the tomato plants in the garden, then it will be everywhere and it will be free or next to free. And it should be. Some of you on here are stuck on the "old way," and those who make money off the "old way" are the ones who fight progress the hardest. Marijuana is a better medicine than it is an intoxicant, and smoking it is the worst way to consume it. Although I remain fond of the practice, the future of cannabis is as a dietary supplement, and the future of cannabis cultivation is as a vegetable. So the Asians figured is out first, not a surprise, Asian immigrants are the wealthiest demographic in the US (look it up if you don't believe me). They are hungry and they aren't hung up on the "old way." Adapt or die. If you rely on illegal cannabis cultivation to survive, you should start saving your money. If you drive for a living, well automation is coming and your job has an expiration date. Change and progress happens. Even to pot growers. I live in the NorthEast and here in September everyone is giving away tons of zucchini because we all grow more of it than we can ever hope to consume... that is the future of pot. And its a beautiful thing.
